Another of your competitors here. It makes me giggle that we're going after the entire developer experience while Entire is only looking at a small corner of it.
Time will tell how small that corner is. ;)
That said, nobody knows what the AI future looks like. Entire’s entire thesis is a solution for something we don’t even know we need. It’s a massive bet and uphill battle. Traditionally, dev tool success stories come from grassroots projects of developers solving their own problems and not massive VC funded efforts that tell you what you need to do.
60 million SEED round? This is really a thing now?
>CLI to tie agent context into Git on every push. Is this the product? I don't want to jump on the detractor wagon, but I read the post and watched the video, and all I gathered is that it dumps the context into the commit. I already do this.
> I already do this. Hows your ability to get an enterprise to mandate their 5000 employees to use it? That's what most of these types of rounds are about.
I guess if I had to do it, I'd reject pushes without the requisite commit to entire/checkpoints/v1. I think their storage strategy is a bit clunky for that, but it can be done. I might look to do something more like the way jujutsu colocates its metadata. I don't think this particular implementation detail makes too much of a difference, though. I got along just fine in a regulated environment by setting a policy and enforcing it before git existed. Ideally, we'd do things for a good reason, and if you can't get along in that world, then it's probably not the right job for you. Sometimes you've got to get the change controls in order before we can mainline your contributions because we have to sustain audits. I don't think this is about forcing people to do something that they otherwise wouldn't do if you told them that it's a requirement of the job.
There is also Git AI: https://github.com/git-ai-project/git-ai https://usegitai.com/
love the shout but git-ai is decidedly not trying to replace the SCMs. there are teams building code review tools (commercial and internal) on top of the standard and I don't think it'll be long before GitHub, GitLab and the usual suspects start supporting it since folks the community have already been hacking it into Chrome extensions - this one got play on HN last week https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46871473
"Entire CLI hooks into your git workflow to capture AI agent sessions on every push."
Which is capturing the LLM convo along with the code (I could be wrong ofc)
List of Github CEOs: 1. Tom Preston-Werner (Co-founder). 2008 – 2014 (Out for, eh... look it up) 2. Chris Wanstrath (Co-founder). 2014 – 2018 (2018: Acquisition by Microsoft: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17227286 ) 3. Nat Friedman (Gnome/Ximian/Microsoft). 2018 – 2021 4. Thomas Dohmke (Founder of HockeyApp, some A/B testing thing, acquired by Microsoft in 2014). 2021 - 2025 There is no Github CEO now, it's ju…
Chris was also CEO from 2008 to 2012. Tom had 2012 to 2014. Nat's company Xamarin was acquired by Microsoft in 2016. HockeyApp wasn't A/B testing, but a platform for iPhone, Mac, Android, and Windows Phone developers to distribute their beta version (like what TestFlight is today to the App Store), collect crash reports (like what Sentry is today), user feedback, and basic analytics for developers.
The Ximian thing I wrote from obviously faulty memory (I now wonder if it was influenced by early 2000s Miguel's bonobo obsession), the rest from various google searches. Should have gone deeper.

I just cannot fathom how people can say something like this today, agentic tools have now passed an inflection point. People want to point out the short comings and fully ignore that you can now make a fully functioning iPhone app in a day without knowing swift or front end development? That I can at my company do two projects simultaneously, both of them done in about 1/4 the time and one would not have even been at…
I've found that the effort required to get a good outcome is roughly equal to the effort of doing it myself. If I do it myself, I get the added bonus of actually understanding what the code is doing, which makes debugging any issues down the line way easier. It's also in generally better for teams b/c you can ask the 'owner' of a part of the codebase what their intuition is on an issue (trying to have AI fill in for…
This thread is extremely negative - if you can't see the value in this, I don't know what to tell you.

Essentially all software is augmented with agentic development now, or if not, built with technology or on platforms that is It's like complaining about the availability of the printing press because it proliferated tabloid production, while preferring beautifully hand-crafted tomes. It's reactively trendy to hate on it because of the vulgar production it enables and to elevate the artisanal extremes that escape its…
What part of Voyager I and Voyager II are "augmented with agentic development?" Surely if all software is augmented with agentic development now, our most important space probes have had their software augmented too, right? What about my blog that I serve static pages on? What about the xray machine my dentist uses? What about the firmware in my toaster? Does the New York Stock Exchange use AI to action stock trades?…
